MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2003Mail Merge from Outlook 2000
I am trying to do an email mail merge. And it works, B-U-T, it opens up the merge document in Word and then prompts me one by one to tell me a program is trying to send an email. And I have to sit there and hit Yes - Yes - Yes.... Obviously this isn't very exciting since I am trying to send like 800 of these. Is there someway to do this without getting the prompts? Thanks Not in Outlook 2000. You can in Outlook 2002 and higher.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > I am trying to do an email mail merge.

Hi Russ, Do you by any chance know a good way to keep track of people who did not respond to an email I've sent them? (100's of them, "follow up" flag or something like that is not what I mean. I've tried the "tracking status" internal field, but that does not seem to do anything at all. Thnx, Jos You can always request a read receipt, but it will be at the recipient's discretion as to whether the receipt is sent to you, depending on their email software.

I am going to send out a mailing to 900 scientists. They need to respond to the mails. So, I need to keep track of the people that do not respond, so I can resend the mailing to those that don't respond. Steps: 1. Send out mailing to Russ MVP. 2. A. Russ does not respond. 3. Resend mailing to Russ. 4. Russ still does not respond. 5. Resend mailing to Russ. Etc. Obviously, with 900 recipients I can not manage this easily "by hand"; I want to automate it. Thnx for any reply, Jos | Then perhaps you can explain what you mean so I can understand your | question. | -- I see. Outlook does not have a native utility to do that. As Sue said, you'd need to look for third party solutions for that.

You allready wrote that. But they don't offer a trial version, and I'm not one of those who pays first, then gets dissatisfied, and then has to go through the horrors of getting your money back.
